FAQ - How is coaching different from consulting or mentoring?

A mentor is a senior person in the business who guides a junior person from their greater experience. A coach does not have to be a senior person in the client's line of business. The client has to know the business, not the coach.

Consultancy deals with the business system as a whole. A consultants recommendations affect individuals indirectly. Coaching affects individuals directly. Coaching will very often be part of a consultant's recommendations for a business.
